Sure, but I've been pointing out that using .mobi over the open standard adds another level of complexity and obstruction to purchasing books for Kindle users and users of other platforms that have generally adopted the .epub standard.
What we really need is a standard whereby all e-reader devices can be used to buy e-books from any vendor. I believe Amazon has worked harder than most to avoid this.
